4. And after that, or, more chronologically accurately, before that, we shot a T-Rex in the face in Lara Croft: Relic Run.

But is that enough? In this video James uses his voice to tell you that Harry from Pocket Gamer thinks it just about is.…

Can a classic 2D pugilism sim really work on a touchscreen device? Can you pull off a dragon punch input when there's nothing telling your finger when to stop? Is it really possible to punch a 2D sprite so hard its head falls off?
